Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

Leafcloud Object Storage is a Ceph-backed storage cluster hosted in the Netherlands with low-latency access. The API is fully compatible with the S3 standard, and data is stored redundantly across several nodes for availability, though not across multiple availability zones.

Storage sits exclusively in the Netherlands, and Leafcloud holds ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and ISO 14001 certification, with green energy used for both servers and backup power. It is a European alternative to the American object storage services for teams that want S3 storage in the EU with a small footprint.

Pricing

Billing is pay-per-use: 0.02336 euros per GB per month for storage, free incoming traffic and 0.055755 euros for outgoing traffic above 100 GB per month.
